Get out your digital cameras and start snapping those action photos again. The SJMSBL is continuing it's Photo of the Week and Photo of the Year contests.

You can view last year's winners on the 2011 Photos of the Week page.

The Photo of the Week contest will be the same as in past years. Submissions must follow the rules listed below.

Voting Rules

As last year, and for timeliness, the SJMSBL webmaster will choose the weekly Photo of the Week winner.

At the end of the year (after playoffs), each team manager and board of directors member will choose their top three photos from the Photo of the Week winners. First place votes will count as three points, second place votes will count as two points, and third place votes will count as one point. The total points for each photo will determine the Photo of the Year winners.
